We had our yardsale this past weekend. As hard of work as it was, we had a blast. Plus we got a good jump on our adoption fund. Benji and I were so blessed to have such supportive friends and family who donated and worked so hard to help get this yardsale together. Mama, Daddy, Shasha, Erin, Melynda, Kathryn, Tal, Mema and Papa: we can't thank you guys enough for all the hard work that you guys put in. There is no way that we could have pulled this off without all of you. Shasha (my aunt) and Erin (my cousin) came up Friday night and spent the night to help us out. Melynda, Tal, Kathryn and Adam (Benji's cousin, her huband and their kids) came Friday night to help get things out then were back with us bright and early to help us get things together. Thank you Melynda for the sausage biscuits, they were awesome! Mema and Papa (my grandparents) came up Friday night to help us set up for the yard sale. Last but not least, my parents. They were behind the whole yardsale. Thank you so much for everything that y'all did. To each and everyone of you: We are so blessed to have you guys as family and hopefully one day we can pay you all back for all your hard work. Also there were numerous people who donated items to the yard sale: Sonny (my father-in-law) thanks for donating all but your kitchen sink. HA! To everyone else that donated: Mary and Jerry (Benji's mama and step father), Aunt Peggy and Uncle Charles (Benji's aunt and uncle), Joe and Mary, Donald, Martha, Dana, Penny...thank you guys, your donations were truly a blessing to us! To Staci and Ashley: Thanks for your text messages to check in and send your "text" support, HA! Thank you guys for thinking about us. We know that you would have both been there if you could have.
Here a a few pics to share of everyone who help us with the yard sale:

Again, Benji and I can't thank all of you that helped and donated enough. Our child/children will forever know of your hard work and your generosity! You guys mean the world to us and we love you all very much!
